Rocky Mountain High Lyrics - Singles - Denver John

He was born in the summer of his 27th year 

Coming home to a place he'd never been before 

He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again 

You might say he found a key for every door 

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away 

On the road and hanging by a song 

But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care 

It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long 

But the Colorado rocky mountain high 

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky 

The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye 

Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below 

He saw everything as far as you can see 

And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun 

And he lost a friend but kept his memory 

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams 

Seeking grace in every step he takes 

His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand 

The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake 

And the Colorado rocky mountain high 

I've seen it raining fire in the sky 

You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply 

Rocky mountain high 

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear 

Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend 

Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more 

More people, more scars upon the land 

And the Colorado rocky mountain high 

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky 

I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly 

Rocky mountain high 

It's Colorado rocky mountain high 

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky 

Friends around the campfire and everybody's high 

Rocky mountain high 

Rocky mountain high 

Rocky mountain high 

Rocky mountain high 

Rocky mountain high 

Rocky mountain high
